Everything's about power and affordability nowadays. That said, there are still some local devices that totally surprise us. Such is the Cloudfone Excite 450q.

The Cloudfone Excite 450q is a 4.5-inch Jelly Bean quad-core device that—and this I strongly emphasize—sells for only P4,999. You read that right—the Cloudfone Excite 450q is now the Philippines' most affordable quad-core smartphone ever. What's even more surprising is its running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8225Q processor.

If you'll recall, Cloudfone also recently introduced the Cloudfone Thrill 450q, the company's current flagship. There's currently no word on when the device will hit the market. That's of little matter since a commercial unit is already pictured above, and who wouldn't wait for such an attractive price point?
